The 800 Can Am guys will bum when they lose the king of the hill title for power.

And the 1000 AC will do it by the sounds of it.[img]i/expressions/devil.gif[/img]

Tcats are faster, but not by huge margin, the Tcat is only about 5hp (10%) more then the Can-am 800s, and the can-ams are about 70 pounds lighter, 100 pounds lighter if comparing it to a Renegade. The Outlander runs 3.6 rear gears, and the Tcat runs 3.1s, The Can-ams are a little stronger off the line but the big cat will catch them in long runs, its pretty even up in 100 yard sprints, 200 yards Tcat every time.

How does it handle? Have you taken it on any trails yet? Does it do well in the tight areas? Can't wait to drive one.

Stock handeling is pretty bad, IMO its tall and tippy like most cats. I dropped mine about 1.2-2 inches added a swaybar and some 6 ply tires, it handels pretty decent now.

I put a couple of before and after pics in the handeling thread here on the conection Its a sticky thread at the top of the AC page.
